Final assessment

Throughout the school year I've had my ups and downs, but I'm pretty sure that my work this year as been outstanding. I may not have completed all of my assignments on time but I have completed roughly 19/24 assignments to the best of my abilities which is about 79%. The reason why that number isn't 100 is because I have had a lot of trouble with some of the assignments, like, for example the assignment where I had to choose a song and write to how it relates to me, I had trouble with this one because I am not good at realizing how I feel, so if i hear a song I like, I just know I like it, but I don't really know why, and for the relating to a real life experience to something that happened in rwanda, well, my life is really boring and I haven't really done anything relatable to, well anything. However I have done most of the assignments, and I few of them I like to think, I knocked out of the park, The links are here: Persona project and a short story:

 project. For most of my assignments I worked probably 1 hour or so, but others I did in about 20 minuets because they had to be done. I think that my writing skill has increased throughout the school year due to the fact that I have been taking this class more seriously. In the beginning I thought that this class was a lazy class where I could slack off and chill with my "homies", I have never been so wrong. It took me a while to realize that this was an important class in my learning process. I think my writing needs great improvement because I have a really hard time putting my thought to text, even though I think I have pretty good ideas, even though I can't necessarily communicate them to the best of my abilities but I need work Expressing my ideas.


My commenting could use a lot of work I only have commented 43 times and my comments have been  helpful, for example this comment that I made in ryleys post was pretty good:

But ultimately I am scared to comment on other people's blogs because I am scared that people are going to be mad at me for telling them what to do.


I believe my self regulation has greatly improved since the beginning  of the year, still playing bubble games but only at the beginning of class and I still manage to get sidetracked but I always come out on top. The reason why I messed 7 classes is because I was sick. Sometimes my actions affect other people because I distract them by talking to them, but sometimes they talk to me first, so they are equally to blame. This semester I learned that I have a really hard time expressing myself in fear that I will be rejected, because in the long run all I want to do is fit in, the way I'm going to change this is by being less shy and putting myself out there.

I think my genius hour was a failure because I was completely disorganized and I knew what I wanted to say but, I had a hard time expressing my ideas and talking in front of people. The reason I chose the topic I did is because I really like minecraft and I kinda wanted to crack it open and see how it worked and modding it really helped me understand the game more. I was not really effective during the school time given because I did most of my work at home were I watched T.V or something so I wasn't so distracted. I think the presentation was terrible because I knew what I wanted to say but couldn't communicate it well under the pressure. From the comments I learned that I'm not good at presenting. I learned that I can be really responsible when given the opportunity and if i care about it I will learn a lot and do a good job. The reason I come to school is because I don't want to be that homeless guy on the street begging for money because school is lame and I wasn't smart enough to read the fine print on my hiring papers, not realizing that it was an unpaid job meaning that my house got repossessed causing me to work a double shift so I don't have time for my wife which means me catching her cheating on me, causing me to go mad, check into a looney bin and become unable to hold down a job due to my addiction to anti-psychotic medication making me beg on the street corner for my next fix, but seeing how I can only get this particular drug from the mental institute,I rob a bank and plea insanity, but they don't but it and I become big mac's bitch.

Overall I would like an 80%

Genius hour

I think that my genius hour could have gone better, I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but when I got up there I totally forgot everything I wanted to say and I assumed that everybody knew what I was talking about and neuf was basically talking me through the whole thing. It's a good thing we weren't marked on this because I think I would have failed.

What I think of class

When I first started this class I thought the purpose of this class was to take a different approach to learning. I think my responsibility in this class is to do your work and do it to the best of your ability. I think by using the wikis and the blogs you were trying to create a community of people teaching other people and communicating their ideas. I now see that the point of this class was to help people who have trouble learning, learn differently. I believe that the learning process is very important, but varies from person to person. My peers have helped my learning by telling me what i did wrong and how to fix it and i think i have helped people in the same way.
